Another try tomorrow. I headed off at 9:01 AM on my Cervelo Caledonia bike. I wanted the ride to go 40 miles so I adjusted yesterday&#8217;s route some going through Elm Grove Village but not riding to Spanish Cove Drive. Instead I stayed on Old Atascocita Road east of FM2100 and made the u-turn at 2 J&#8217;s or Sheldon Services, not sure which name is correct from the sign. Those changes were enough for 40.38 miles and the week now totals 117.94 miles. For the month I&#8217;m up to 634.52 or 70% of the way to my goal. Even though the distance is above the average the route name is <strong>Atascocita &#8211; Walden &#8211; Huffman<\/strong>. Looking back over 2024 and 2023 the average distance is 34 to 35 miles. I stopped at the Chevron store at Atascocita Shores Drive and FM1960 for a 10 minute rest in the shade and breeze. The dew point was 4 degrees lower than yesterday giving a cooling effect despite the 92 degrees. On the way back my left eye started stinging maybe from sunscreen getting in it. I made a stop at the Chevron in Huffman to get some relief. While I was there three people pushed a &#8217;55 Ford Thunderbird into the station from where it stalled on FM1960. Before leaving I rode over and talked to the owner. The video has more about the 69 year old T-Bird. My eye felt better and I rode west over Lake Houston and back to Kingwood finishing at 12:38 PM. My CamelBak still had cold water at the finish. I&#8217;ll be counting on it for the HH100 Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex
